Where to shop

There are lots of hidden jewels tucked away in the
charming shops of downtown Lockport, Naperville, and other surrounding

Thrift Stores
(Used
furniture, clothing, appliances, etc.)

Thrift shops offer second-hand (i.e. used) items for a much
lower cost than their initial purchase cost. Because
it is expensive to set up an entire household by buying everything
new, and because you may want some items only for the time

few extra dishes or glasses? Some
extra layers of clothing in the winter? Thrift
shops may be your answer. Additionally,
thrift shops frequently use their proceeds for charitable causes. Here
